A good friend of our USA rep has been on the Watch the Throne tour with Jay Z & Kanye West. He told us that Kanye’s favourite drink is fresh strawberries, vodka & lime juice.. almost the exact recipe of our VnC Strawberry Daiquiri! Naturally, we gave him a case to enjoy when they played in Vegas.. Cheers to the Good Life!

Refinery29 has posted an awesome we article demonstrating a few different ways to re-invent your staple red lippy. With the multitude of Xmas parties happening at the moment, what better time to try something different?
Two-Tone Lips (above, left)
“A red lip done with two complementary shades makes for a high-impact pout that’s a surefire conversation starter. The trick to this look is picking two shades that are similar and have the same undertones, like a cool-toned red and a bright fuchsia. Swipe the darker color on your lower lip and the brighter hue on your top lip. To keep the colors from bleeding into each other, dust a bit of transparent powder on top, to finish.”
Scarlet Sparkle (above, right)
“To get this sexy shimmery pout, makeup maven Pat McGrath first lined lips with a deep red liner, then filled in the lip with a cherry red lipstick. Using her finger, she dabbed some loose red glitter directly into the center of the lips, blotting it outwards. Two coats of a thick, jelly gloss on top sealed the glitter in place and added shine.”
Kissed Off (above, left)
“A low-maintenance, super-sexy way to wear a red lip is a stain that makes it look like you’ve just spent a lot of time locking lips. To get the look, makeup artist Ellis Faas suggests applying a wine-colored lipstick directly to the center of the lip and fading it out with your fingertips. “The result is a very natural, sensuous lip that looks like you have just been kissing. It is also a great way to wear lipstick, for a woman who might not be used to, or like, the feeling of product on her lips,” says Faas.”
Dip-Dyed Lips (above, right)
“To get this cool gradient effect, McGrath lined and filled in lips with a deep red lip pencil, used a brush to dab a deep burgundy lipstick on the entire lip, then tapped a rich, true-red lipstick on to the very center of the lips. A coat of gloss finished off the look and helped blend the colors into each other for a seamlessly blended look.”
